…its been said before, but it bears repeating: i feel like a lot of people could stand to remember that fortress europe + ICE + border restrictions and policing around the world must be contextualised within an ongoing and severely worsening climate/biodiversity loss crisis that is actively making huge swathes of the third world uninhabitable viz. both rising temperatures and unproductive land and displacement and political crises/conflict over depleting resources, and that policies re. immigration and refugees now are both a response to those first waves of immigration and a testing ground for the er future. see also: climate chaos is coming - and the pinkertons are ready. it is a specific response to a crisis that is contiguous with a desire to continue expanding oil and coal and "dirty" energy capacity in the us AND with europe's continued expansion of both carbon fuel and green fuel simultaneously, all in the name of "national security" and "economic growth", in which security and growth of only particular forms and areas of the world are prioritised. it is a specific response to a crisis that has marked swathes of the world out as expendable both in terms of resource and people & which refuses any form of responsibility for "externalised costs". you may think yourself untouched, but it will affect you and sooner than you think.

I think it is Angelic in nature, and it hums to be eaten sweetly
